At times beautiful places make memories, at times wonderful people do. Sometimes both.
Coorg, I do not need to talk much about the beauty of this place as it is a very famous tourist spot. What I will talk about here, is how to explore the offbeat part of Coorg.
I can start with a hotshot introduction about Pichavaram, as it is hotshot for real. But I would first like to thank my friend Sourabh Dutta for suggesting that I should visit this place. It was worth all the efforts. Adding to the list of praises, this is the second largest Mangrove forest in the world. When did I go here? Oh doesn’t matter actually. Its worth visiting anytime of the year. Close to Pondicherry and just 12 km from Chidambaram, this was a part of my recent Pondy trip.
The journey to Pichavaram from Pondy was picturesque. We stopped enroute at a few local south Indian joints for lunch.
Sasan Gir forest has been flourishing with tourists throughout the year. Considered to be one of the hottest tourist spots in Gujarat, a lot of developments have recently taken place in this area. As Gir is one of these places close to my hometown and feels like home, I’ve never felt the need to go and explore it as a trip spot until recently.
